The Don't Be A Dick License Public License (DBAD) and What The Fuck Public License (WTFPL)

Here's an alternative license to use: The Don't Be A Dick License Public License (DBAD). See also WTFPL

The "Dont Be a Dick" Public License

As developers we all want to protect our code from dicks that try to steal, sell, infringe or just generally rip us off. For this we have licenses like GPL, MIT, etc.

Sometimes however, you release a project where you just don't care what happens to the code. For this Sam Hocevar created the WTFPL which is a brilliant license.

For those of you who want something in between, try the DBAD license:

   Being a dick includes - but is not limited to - the following instances:

   1b. Selling the unmodified original with no work done what-so-ever, that's REALLY being a dick.
   1c. Modifying the original work to contain hidden harmful content. That would make you a PROPER dick.

3. Code is provided with no warranty. Using somebody else's code and bitching when it goes wrong makes you a DONKEY dick. Fix the problem yourself. A non-dick would submit the fix back.
